We had arranged a tour of Er Lake with stops at a few different points around the lake. Upon arriving at our first stop, we headed to the top deck to check out the view. My jaw dropped when I saw this. The amphibious invasion had already begun in earnest.

Situated in the highlands of Lombok Island, Koal is a remote village inhabited by the indigenous people called the Sasak.  We drove for a few hours until the roads became dirt and rock, and another hour more until the van went no further. We started hiking up the mountain until we reached the village of Koal. What we saw up there took my breath away.
